My sister and I stayed at Cindy's cozy studio for about 7 days. We didn't have the chance to meet Cindy but Cindy was very helpful and prompt in answering our many questions and addressing our concerns. Her sister and brother checked us in upon arrival and her sister was also very willing to offer advice and directions, despite her busy schedule. The building of Cindy's apartment is old but the room is newly renovated; very spacious and clean. The lock system of the door is simple but don't worry, as the locals living there are friendly and it is safe. There is a laundromat on the first floor of the building where we did our laundry and washed towels for 30b/ cycle. The Udomsuk area is great if you want to live amongst the locals; a mix of local street food (and a fresh market!) available till late at night and hip cafes and restaurants (Vintage Gelato, Shabu Town, etc) available till 10pm at OneUdomsok, the new building round the corner from Udomsuk BTS. With 7-11, Lawson (Japanese and Korean mart) and Watsons just down the street, you'll never be short of anything. There is a GREAT massage joint called Sawatdee Thai Massage just a 3 min walk from the apartment (further down from 7-11, towards the BTS direction)- the staff there speak little English but they are friendly and the traditional thai massage only costs 200b/1 hour. Down the stairs from Exit 3 of BTS Udomsuk station, there is a great food joint that serves amazing Thai and Chinese dishes and amazing Tom Yam hotpot. You'll be able smell it from the station. Udomsuk BTS is about a 10min walk from the apartment and from there, it is a 15 min train ride to Siam/central area (42b), although it will take you a little longer to reach BTS Mo Chit station (the other end of the Sukhumvit skytrain line) where the Chatuchak Weekend Market is (52b). There is a REALLY AWESOME vintage weekend night market called Talad Rot Fai (next to Seacon Square) that is pretty near the apartment. Cheap shopping for new and 2nd-hand clothes, vintage finds, cool bars with great performances, comfortable and clean space, and without the mad crowd that you will have at Chatuchak or JJ Green Night Market. You can take the BTS to On Nut station and take a taxi from there or you can take a taxi straight from the apartment. A metered taxi from the apartment to Talad Rot Fai only costs 50- 60b. A note to those who are afraid of cats: there are cats roaming around the 1st floor of the apartment but they are harmless and friendly :) Also, if you ever get up at 6am in the morning, you will be rewarded with AN AWESOME SUNRISE from the room (14th floor). All in all, Cindy's place is value for money and the place truly grows on you. Thank you Cindy for being such a gracious host....
